Bone Cancer

Bone cancer is a rare type of cancer that develops in bone tissue. The exact causes of bone cancer are not fully understood, but risk factors include hereditary conditions, exposure to radiation, and previous cancer treatments. Symptoms of bone cancer can include bone pain, swelling, and tenderness, as well as fractures or other bone abnormalities. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests and a biopsy to confirm the presence of cancerous cells. Treatment options depend on the type and stage of bone cancer and may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these. Supportive care such as pain management and physical therapy may also be necessary. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve outcomes for people with bone cancer.
